Howdy folks, say hello to @Matt Finlay a musician that found his way to Nostr. Did not listen to his stuff, he might suck for all i know, but sick of spotify and alike he figured out how to use Nostr, so thats good enough for me to give him a leg up :)

Dear Nostr, Here is a guy that tries out Nostr! He goes to the appstore and.... Downloads Snort, an app which latest version is from dec 6 2024 and Spring (dec 28 2023)! 🥳 Lets see how that works out kids! Now ofcourse its typical he dodges any of the good clients in the list, but can't these apps be removed from the appstore?

Oh hey, hi, hello. So...if any of you could just go ahead and update the remote signing spec with a little flag that tells the client that the signer is taking care of publishing the event, so we can have a class of bunkers that also does publication to relays next to the current type of signers that don't.... And then if y'all could just update to the new spec, that would be great. Ok thnx, bye. But no, seriously, what would make more sense? Trying to update the existing standard? Introduce a new standard that is 99.99% the same as the existing one? Force the existing standard to change eventually by just be a ''bad'' actor as a signer by simply throwing back error codes to the client instead of signed events, so things do actually work but the experience is just ugly?

Get Me to the Gray – Where we say the things that divide us— and keep talking anyway

that hosts conversations between people with opposing views, I am looking for someone who is ''anti-''Nostr or ''pro-'' something else Nostr is antithetical to, to have a discussion on Social media/the web. Perhaps someone has a suggestion for a name that could be interesting to converse about the topic with. Someone you absolutely hate and want to see getting REKT for example; im kidding (not kidding), the host described it as ''These are meant to be smart, engaging conversations, not debates or gotcha moments.''. @npub1wmr3...g240 do you know anyone that looks at things differently and might be willing to engage in conversation? Drop your suggestions below, maybe that show can convince that person to come on and sit around the digital table with me.

Neither Nostr itself, nor client are services, but are tools; and this is perhaps a subtle but important difference with the legacy web/platforms. I think a lot/most users would benefit from being explicitly aware of that fact. Currently its something they might slowly get aware off the moment they start using more than 1 client, but i am not sure if it actually sinks in. Nostr really is not that complicated, it is just different. The whole paradigm of creating a publication, providing it with a signature and depositing it in places others can retrieve it, is something most humans can comprehend. Mostly because there is no abstraction, it IS the analogy. The fate of introducing a new paradigm is that ''onboarding'' means doing two things; getting people to use apps, post things, be social etc. on the one hand; but also understanding the landscape itself on the other. In the long run I think people are better off when they grasp the landscape/paradigm, because it immediately makes them less helpless and more confident in using the tools and navigating the terrain. Opening the new version of vnak made me wonder if it really takes more than an (guided) hour, or two, to give people a minimal viable understanding. For instance the ability to just hand-craft various types of events, provides a ''naked'' nostr experience that would demystify the interaction they have with clients. You only really need to do it once, and have a look at the JSON for a bit, to make it click that all a client does is make it easy for you to create publications and provide a nice viewing experience. Handpicking relays once, should make it clear that clients are nice enough to handle all that stuff for you in the background. Combine this with another (guided) session where people play around with

grimoire - a nostr client for magicians

for an hour, and i am sure they start to UNDERSTAND that platforms held them hostage; im am sure they start to UNDERSTAND Nostr means liberation.
